I've been in Yaroslav's community for two months now, and here's my feedback: This is a great community for those who are done with the initial euphoria, tired of unstable results, and emotional roller coasters from the next losing streak. Here, the focus is on not losing money, not chasing unrealistic expectations, patterns, waves, SM, etc. The main goal is to avoid psychological stress and manage cortisol levels.
If trading is a profession, we just want to calmly show up, do our job, and gradually earn, without nerves or FOMO.
Yaroslav's approach is about controlling capital and reducing psychological strain. On the organizational side: daily pre-market, trading, post-market, keeping trade journals, analysis, trade breakdowns, educational streams on various topics, and a lot of individual work.
In trading: the analysis is based on higher timeframes (HTF), but all trades occur within the day (perfect for prop trading, where you can't hold through news). Building good habits takes time — for me, the first month in the community was just trading by inertia: some LTF reversals, expectations, re-swipes, AH->AL... Luckily, I quickly learned how to protect my positions, and the usual result was just BE 0%. But since it's a community, everyone shares their trades — and this is invaluable. You get to see how to work quality and safely following the morning plan.
Over time, the "salty cucumber effect" sets in, where good examples get absorbed, and you start repeating them. As of now: all trading accounts are preserved, equity is in profit, and growing slowly. This week, I was able to independently identify and execute a few profitable trades, working based on facts (imagine that after 50/50 pattern trading — finally understanding the logic of buyers and sellers in the market). Gradually, the puzzle is coming together, though the feeling of trudging through a sticky jelly still exists. It's hard to push yourself to do the same things regularly, it's exhausting — but this is part of the profession, isn't it?
